And what's happening with Fenerbahce and Besiktas?

Galatasaray had an above average game, playing away but feeling like they were at home. Icardi had an impressive penalty kick, while Zaniolo got red carded and pretty ticked off about it. As always, our players had a defensive masterclass, Nelsson ultimately making the game changing action that brought us the win and all the while our subs being spot on. Shout out to Okan Buruk for listening to the podcast - we knew we had influence!

Make sure to tune in next time, and sorry to our beloved fans for not giving you a chance to ask us any questions. We can't wait to hear what you have to say next time!

Welcome back to the latest episode of our football podcast! It's been a while since we've had Mazhar with us, but our little kangaroo has hopped his way back to the mic. And boy, have we got some drama to discuss.

Our veteran Bafetimbi Gomis has been causing quite the stir lately. We won't spoil it for you, but let's just say there's some juicy gossip to sink your teeth into.

But it hasn't all been sunshine and roses for our team. We recently conceded 3 goals, which is a first for this season. Ouch. Luckily, we've got some exciting new tactics up our sleeves, including the unconventional choice of playing Zaniolo as our striker. Will it pay off? Only time will tell.

And speaking of exciting new players, have you seen Boey's recent performance? Not only did he score his first goal, but he also put on a show-stopping display of skill and talent. We can't wait to see what he'll do next.

So grab a drink, sit back, and join us for another lively discussion about all things football. It's sure to be a wild ride!

Episode 50 - From Valhalla to Victory: How Viking Blood Led Galatasaray to Glory

Sun, 02 Apr 2023 17:45:00 +0000

Welcome back to another episode of our podcast, where we dive into the latest news in the world of football. Today, we're taking a look at the recent performances of our beloved team and some of the controversies that have arisen in the Super Lig.

First up, let's talk about our Asian neighbors who got trashed at home against a 10-men BJK side. It's safe to say that their defeat created quite a gap between us, putting us in a comfortable lead. And speaking of comfort, Galatasaray is targeting safe standing to boost their stadium capacity. Because let's be honest, standing is much more exciting than sitting during a match!

Now, let's get into the nitty-gritty of the Zaniolo transfer, as revealed by the always-reliable Erden Timur. We'll discuss the details and what this means for our team's future.

Moving on to our performance against Adana Demirspor, which left a lot to be desired. It seemed like our players were lacking in rhythm, but hey, we can't always be on top of our game. Mertens and Nelsson made their triumphant return to the XI, and Sam started another game for us. But controversy arose with the likes of Akbaba and Sam, leaving fans scratching their heads.

So, grab your popcorn and get ready for another lively discussion about the highs and lows of our beloved team. Until next time, stay tuned and keep supporting the best team in the Super Lig!

Crew: Salih, Yasin, Emre

Episode 49 - Unbeaten no more: The end of a 14-game winning streak

Sun, 19 Mar 2023 18:05:00 +0000

Sacha Boey has caught the attention of multiple clubs, and we discuss whether a big move is deserved for the talented player. Additionally, we cover the announcement of a friendly match between GS and Qarabag, with proceeds going towards earthquake victims.

We also touch on the Lale Orta controversies surrounding her intervention in the video broadcasted by Bein Sports. The panel discusses the significance of this controversy and how it might impact the league's reputation and future.

Moving forward, we turn our attention to Konyaspor's recent performance, the questionable line-up, and Galatasaray's inability to perform up to their usual standards. We also dive into the controversial referee decisions that have sparked debate among fans and experts alike.

Finally, we discuss how to proceed with this loss after the international break and reflect on the timing of the break. Tune in for this episode of The Lion's Den and stay up-to-date with all the latest developments surrounding Galatasaray.

Episode 48 - The Record breaker vs Kasımpaşa

Sat, 11 Mar 2023 22:45:00 +0000

In this episode, we're talking about more than just the beautiful game - we're discussing the heartwarming philanthropy of Galatasaray, who are selling jerseys with proceeds going to the victims of Turkey's recent earthquake. It's great to see that football can be used for good beyond the pitch.

Speaking of the pitch, Galatasaray has also had an impressive 14 game winning streak that we can't help but gush over. But with greatness comes scrutiny, and we're taking a closer look at the lineup. Mata and Yunus's performances were a bit lackluster, but Sergio's impact on the game has us wondering: is it more good than bad?

We also celebrate Muslera's return to the squad, and Zaniolo's first game where he made an instant impact by scoring a goal. But not every team brought the heat, as we discuss Kasimpasa's lack of performance thanks to their counter-attacking style and sitting way too deep.

And looking forward, we're diving into the upcoming game against Konyaspor - but with Nelsson suspended, will Galatasaray be able to keep their winning streak going? Only time will tell, but we'll be here to break it all down.
